  2. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport at The Oval

    The crowd behind Stokes have seen a lot of the action in the last hour. Those Murphy sixes and now they roar in approval at that fine catch.

  3. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Cummins went for broke there and he was out for a very good 36 at the end. Root takes his second wicket.

  4. Close of play

    That is it for the day.

    Australia have earned a 12-run lead on first innings.

    We've basically got a one-innings game.

    WICKET

    Cummins c Stokes b Root 36 (Aus 295)

    Perfectly done by Ben Stokes at long-on.

  6. Umpire review

    Wicket first ball?

    Ben Stokes has taken one of those in-out-in catches on the boundary rope.

    It looks perfectly done, but we're going to check it to be safe.

  7. Joe Root is coming on.

    Can his golden arm strike?

  8. Here's how Chris Woakes got Todd Murphy.

  9. Aus 295-9

    Lead by 12

    Josh Hazlewood looks in good touch, you know.

    He gets some width from James Anderson and he slaps him away through the covers.

    He's a bit unlucky to not get four, but only picks up a couple.

  10. England won't bat today.

    #bbccricket, via WhatsApp on 03301231826 or text 81111 (standard network charges apply)

    Ben Stokes has 197 Test wickets. Why isn't he helping the seamers rest by bowling, not to mention taking a wicket or two?

    Ivor in Norwich

    He's got a knee injury, Ivor...

  12. Aus 292-9

    Lead by 9

    Two dot balls end the over.

    That should avoid England batting today.

  13. Aus 292-9

    Ufff!

    Bit of width from Chris Woakes and Josh Hazlewood slices to the point boundary.

    Bit annoying for England but also fetching the ball takes 30 seconds so potentially not the end of the world.

  14. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Cricket statistician on Test Match Special

    Woakes has now taken 15 wickets in this series.

  15. We've got up to 15 minutes play left in the day.

    The innings changeover takes 10 minutes.

    If England take a wicket here there could be a very awkward four or five minutes - likely one over - for Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley.

  16. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport at The Oval

    The Aussies in the ground are giving Todd Murphy a standing ovation. Good knock.

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    Murphy lbw b Woakes 34 (Aus 288-9)

    Clipping leg stump!

    It's very, very tight but the technology shows it is a tiny clip on leg stump and the original out decision stands.

  18. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    I'd be quite surprised if Todd Murphy doesn't have to walk back to the pavilion.

  19. There's no bat.

    It could be leg-side.

    Maybe umpire's call.

  20. Australia review

    Chris Woakes has got Todd Murphy!

    Or has he?

    Australia want another look.
